     I get the same result.  This was one of James Harney's test
applications, and I suspect the problem may be with the VRML file (or the
placement of it within the scene).

     That's the expected behavior.  The teapots aren't really blowing up,
it's just that they're colocated with the test explosions being set off by
the explosion manager.  It's tricky to manipulate the teapots when that's
the case, because clicking on the window tends to select the explosions.

     Whoops, that was due to an egregious error on my part.  I'm fixing it
in the CVS build now.

     This file was in the resources directory, but wasn't included in the
manifest.  Fixing that now.

     This is some non-fatal error from the Xj3D loader.

     I'm not getting this error, but it may have something to do with
something I had screwed up earlier (and have recently fixed in the CVS
build) in terms of MIME types.

     I'm pretty sure this is normal, but you'd have to ask Ekrem (who wrote
the XFSP code).

     That's not normal, on the other hand.  You should see two ships on a
static textured water surface.  As in the DIS test, if you move the left
ship in the left window, you should see it move in the right window as well,
and vice-versa.

     When I run xfspYildiz.xml, it seems to work, although I only see the
XFSP sender; the DIS sender seems to be invisible.  xfspIITSEC.xml seems to
work fine for me.

     Well, thanks for being the first to test it with Linux!  I don't think
you've misconfigured the system.  Since the textures are a particular
problem, I think the MIME type issue that I mentioned above may have
something to do with the errors that you're getting.
